This is because partition 8 on this disk overflows the disk slightly (by
about 10KB, if I'm doing my arithmetic correctly), and libparted rejects
such things.

I note that the Linux kernel simply truncates partitions like this now:

Perhaps libparted should be able to do the same? I'll contact upstream
and ask.
